Figure 530361DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
Technical process is as shown in Figure 1, and wherein dotted line is represented nonessential but can be replenished the workshop section of adjustment, and concrete process step is following:
The first step is the preparation and the purification of silicon tetrafluoride gas:
Adopt thermolysis preparation with sodium fluosilicate silicon tetrafluoride gas: Sodium Silicofluoride 98min is delivered to the drying machine inner drying through batch charger, 100 ~ 200 ℃ of drying temperatures.The exsiccant purpose is to remove the moisture content that Sodium Silicofluoride 98min contains, and contains water when preventing the Sodium Silicofluoride 98min thermolysis and produces side reaction.The silicon tetrafluoride that side reaction mainly refers to generate contacts afterreaction with the water vapour in the atmosphere and produces hydrofluoric acid and silicic acid, can cause corrosion to equipment, also influences product purity simultaneously.Dried Sodium Silicofluoride 98min carries out thermolysis under 700~900 ℃ of temperature in thermal decomposition furnace; Produce silicon tetrafluoride gas; Be delivered in the storage tank and store, directly be delivered to the high temperature reduction reactor drum through flow speed controller then, the Sodium Fluoride of generation is collected the back as sub product.
There is the undecomposed situation of small amount of fluorine water glass in the reaction process,, therefore is present in the Sodium Silicofluoride 98min in the sub product Sodium Fluoride, do not influence the silicon tetrafluoride product purity because the purpose of this reaction is to produce the silicon tetrafluoride of gas phase.
Use phosphate fertilizer by-product fluosilicic acid sodium to be raw material, through the prepared silicon tetrafluoride gas of above-mentioned thermal decomposition process, purity is high, particularly contains B, P impurity is low, can directly be used for follow-up reduction workshop section and prepare polycrystalline silicon material.Certainly, in order further to improve final polycrystalline silicon material product purity and quality, can take purifying treatment to silicon tetrafluoride, purification process can be a cryogenic purification, adsorption cleaning etc.
In addition, silicon tetrafluoride gas also can adopt other prepared, as long as satisfy purity between 99.9%~99.9999%, will not detail here.
Second step was that the tetrafluoride reduced gas of sodium Metal 99.5 prepares elemental silicon and by-product Sodium Fluoride:
Active metal sodium is stored in the reductive agent storage tank, and is heated to 140~500 ℃ fused solution, through contactless electromagnetic pump Liquid Sodium is delivered to the high temperature reduction reactor drum.For making reductive agent sodium Metal 99.5 complete reaction, silicon tetrafluoride is excessive, and the mol ratio of control silicon tetrafluoride and sodium Metal 99.5 is between 1:4~1:2.With liquid spray form continuously feeding, sodium contacts the thermopositive reaction of promptly can burning with silicon tetrafluoride to sodium Metal 99.5 after the metering in reduction reactor through the reactor head nozzle.Through indirect cooling water control reaction zone temperature, temperature is controlled at 800~1300 ℃, and reaction produces Si and NaF, falls to the reactor bottom melting zone through gravity.The bottom melting zone is provided with heating unit, and material is heated to 1450~1650 ℃ of molten states, and is implemented in bottom continuous fusion discharge.The high temperature reduction reactor pressure is controlled to be 0.01~0.5Mpa, can control reactor pressure through the silicon tetrafluoride intake and exhaust system.
The 3rd step was to separate HIGH-PURITY SILICON and by product Sodium Fluoride:
High temperature reduction reaction gained S iWith NaF from reactor bottom melting zone continuous pulp discharge, get in the fusion separator be attached thereto, under 1450~1650 ℃ of conditions, liquid HIGH-PURITY SILICON material is separated with the reaction by-product Sodium Fluoride.Separate and utilize molten silicon and molten fluoride not to dissolve each other and the density different characteristic, the similar oily-water seperating equipment of principle, Sodium Fluoride is walked the upper strata, and silicon is walked lower floor.As long as guarantee that feed composition and feed rate are constant, through the separated product continuous pulp discharge, the height of liquid layer that can control molten materials is constant, realizes the continuous separation of material.Product after the separation is collected in respectively in the high purity graphite container.
Through control raw material silicon tetrafluoride and reductive agent sodium Metal 99.5 purity, the separating obtained polycrystalline silicon material purity of above-mentioned fusion can reach more than 99.9999%, satisfies manufacture of solar cells fully.Why this technology can prepare the high-purity polycrystalline material; Major cause is: (1) is high by the prepared silicon tetrafluoride gas purity of Sodium Silicofluoride 98min thermolysis; Particularly boron (B), phosphorus (P) foreign matter content are very low, wherein contain B≤0.05ppm (wt), contain P≤0.1ppm (wt); (2) impurity in the sodium Metal 99.5 mainly can be divided three classes; One type is the active metal; Like Li, K, Mg, Ca, Al etc.; Even their content very trace also can generate corresponding fluoride salt with silicon tetrafluoride reaction, and get into the Sodium Fluoride phase fully when in reaction process, separating, thereby can not pollute polycrystalline silicon material with fusion; Second type be Fe, Ni, Cu, W, Mo etc. not with the transition metal of silicon tetrafluoride reaction; They can get in the polycrystalline silicon material by trace; But these impurity elements are less to the influence of polycrystalline silicon used for solar battery, and can effectively remove through the follow-up qualitative casting ingot process that solidifies; The 3rd type is that B, P etc. influence bigger nonmetallic impurity to polycrystalline silicon used for solar battery, these components and the trace thereof that contain in the sodium Metal 99.5, and B, P content are all less than 0.1 ppm (wt) in the polycrystalline silicon material that finally obtains.In addition, can be through to the screening of sodium Metal 99.5 material purity or set up online sodium refining plant above impurity is control effectively.
The 4th step was that polycrystalline silicon material is carried out further physical purification:
The difference that possibly exist according to selection and purge cases, technology controlling and process level and clean administrative situation to raw material silicon tetrafluoride and sodium Metal 99.5 purity; For guaranteeing that the prepared polycrystalline silicon material of this technology satisfies the solar cell demand fully, the present invention has replenished follow-up physical purification technology.Physical purification mainly refers to vacuum melting and directional solidification processes, and in the solar energy polycrystalline silicon sheet industrial chain, the inherent polycrystalline silicon casting ingot process can be used fusion and directional freeze, so the physical purification technology of adding can not cause big increase to the cost of the finished product.
In sum, the present invention is equipped with the solar-grade polysilicon material with the tetrafluoride reduced legal system of sodium Metal 99.5, and purity can reach more than the 6N, and its every kilogram production of polysilicon cost can be controlled in 15~20 dollars/kilogram.Compare improvement Siemens Method and silane legal system polysilicon, have that technology and support equipment are simple, energy consumption is low, no toxic gas discharging, a production and cost of investment advantage such as less.Simultaneously, be main raw material with the silicon tetrafluoride, phosphate fertilizer by-product fluorine, silicon resource all can be utilized effectively, and are the effective ways that the multiple fertile enterprise of phosphorus by-product fluorine silicon resource is walked " become more meticulous, high additional " thinking.
